FEDECOS was founded with a clear mission: to strengthen coffee cooperatives in the Soconusco region, nestled between the mountains of Chiapas and the border with Guatemala. Through collective effort, the federation has enabled smallholder farmers to access international markets and secure better trading conditions.
The organization leads programs focused on organic farming, fair trade certification, technical training, and continuous quality improvement — with a model designed to generate a positive impact for both producer families and the ecosystems where coffee is cultivated.
Belco began its commercial relationship with FEDECOS in 2026, finding in them an organized and serious group of producers, built on a shared vision of sustainability, traceability, and the valorization of responsible, small-scale production.
What makes FEDECOS unique is its ability to combine collective organization, environmental management, and access to specialized markets — all while demonstrating that Robusta can be produced with the same principles of traceability and excellence that define specialty coffee. Shade-grown cultivation in high biodiversity ecosystems, certified organic and fair trade production, as well as genuine community development programs, distinguish this federation from conventional Robusta supply chains. Shared values with Belco: support for smallholder farmers and cooperatives, commitment to sustainable and organic agriculture, and transparency across the entire value chain.
